Chapter 228 Confession, Good News Letter
At this point, the three golden elixir monks completely understood the meaning of Zhu Xuanji's previous actions.
Zhu Xuanji did this on purpose. He just wanted to let the City Lord's Mansion know that Ning Zhuo was exposed!
By seizing this clue, Zhu Xuanji was able to seize the tail of the City Lord's Mansion and force the City Lord's Mansion to eradicate Ning Zhuo, thereby exposing even greater flaws.
"I have a question." Zheng Shuanguo said, "If I were Feisi and attacked Ning Zhuo once but failed, I would definitely attack a second time."
"Why do you keep Ning Zhuo until now?"
Zhu Xuanji explained: "As far as I know from my current investigation, after Ning Zhuo was attacked and his house was destroyed, he took advantage of the situation and moved into the Ning family's land."
Zhou Nongying echoed: "The genius monks from our three families were all attacked. I remember that we took the initiative to invite Mr. Zhu to conduct this investigation."
"Presumably at that time, the City Lord's Mansion was afraid of Master Zhu's ability and felt that the news was too tight, so they stopped for a while. This is quite normal."
Zhu Xuanji continued: "I have indeed collected various clues, but these are exactly the same as those of my investigative agency. They are all designed to confuse my hearing and my energy."
"So after that, I did not continue to follow these clues. Instead, I designed an investigation list and investigated them one by one."
"Ning Zhuo has also gradually emerged and become more and more outstanding. It is more difficult for the city lord's palace to touch him than before. And to conceal his true purpose, it is impossible to assassinate him alone. Otherwise, it will be easy for me to follow his lead."
"However, now that I look back, there may be another reason."
"Ning Zhuo is good at maneuvering, and has always taken the initiative to get close to Feisi. He has shown his talent, and his own situation is not welcomed. He is ostracized by the main line of the Ning family. This status is actually very valuable to win over."
"Perhaps Faith from the City Lord's Mansion took a fancy to this aspect of him."
"He may also think that my focus is on the investigation list, and the investigation has been far away from their key points, so he is no longer in a hurry to take action, but more to regard Ning Zhuo as or want to cultivate him into a good person."
One of my own chess pieces."
"Ning Zhuo is just a small person. He is not the focus. He is just being used."
"The key point is now: I discovered the suspicion on him and caught the tail of the City Lord's Mansion. If the City Lord's Mansion insists on assassinating Ning Zhuo, it will be equivalent to exposing a flaw. Then for us, this is an excellent opportunity.
.”
"This is also the reason why I summoned you this time."
"Last time, we explored together, the Royal Court of the Fire Melting Demon Ape at the bottom of the Fire Persimmon Mountain."
"This time, let us deal with the City Lord's Mansion together!"
The golden elixirs from the three families all had bright eyes, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
"Yes, this is indeed a good opportunity!" Zheng Danqian nodded first.
Zheng Shuangou clenched his fists and said: "Yes, yes."
He was the most excited of all the people present.
"Once the Meng family makes a big mistake, Master Zhu will have a legitimate reason to call on the power of the Nandou royal family to suppress the entire situation."
"You don't even need to use the power of the royal family. Meng Kui himself will be arrested under the overwhelming evidence, unless he wants to rebel!"
Meng Kui's real crime was not to kill Yuan Dasheng and take away the Demon Sect Scripture, but to use Ning Zhuo to blow up the Immortal Palace!
For the family's selfish interests, the Meng family put thousands of citizens of the entire Fire Persimmon City in danger.
At the same time, they also created a black shadow demon cultivator and asked him to take the initiative to attack the Lava Immortal Palace. This was too ambitious and they wanted to support the invaders in order to respect themselves.
Such a crime completely breaks through the bottom line of normalcy.
Zheng Shuangou then said that this time he would follow Mr. Zhu and deal with the city lord's mansion together.
Zheng Shuangou was quite angry.
He found that he was kept in the dark. His battle with the black shadow demon cultivator completely fell into the plan of the city lord's palace.
The two golden elixir monks from the Zhou family communicated secretly and discussed with each other for a while.
They all felt that this was indeed a good opportunity. If the Ramon family could be disbanded, then Zhu Xuanji could mobilize the power of the royal family, establish the world in one fell swoop, and immediately become the master of Lava Immortal Palace.
"In order to expand themselves, the Meng family broke through the bottom line and did not follow the rules. Fortunately, Mr. Zhu was aware of everything and collected enough evidence to make the truth known."
"By then, our side will completely occupy the great righteousness and gain widespread recognition in the entire Nandou Kingdom. Even other families will unite with the royal family to deal with the Meng family. Even if they do not unite, they will stand aside and watch."
People's hearts are the general trend.
If the Meng family's mistakes are exposed, the royal family will be able to set off a trend.
Under the crushing force of the general trend, it is difficult for the Meng family to resist!
"If this is the case, a behemoth like the Meng family will be severely weakened by me." Zhu Xuanji's heart was full of expectations.
It has always been his political ambition to weaken and attack these powerful cultivators!
This made him full of motivation for the next action.
Seeing that both the Zhou family and the Zheng family had expressed their opinions, Ning Yifan spoke slowly.
"Ning Zhanji and others from our clan died at the hands of the Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator."
"And the Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator is from the City Lord's Mansion. Our Ning family and the City Lord's Mansion have been enemies for a long time!"
"Feisi secretly wants to instigate Ning Zhuo and undermine my Ning family. It's really too much of a deception."
"I am willing to do my best to assist Mr. Zhu."
Ning Jiufan was very hostile to Meng Kui.
Meng Kui's story was like a peach kernel, which once smashed his head and caused him a wound that he would have to lick for the rest of his life.
As soon as Ning Jiufan finished expressing his stance, a subordinate reported outside the door that he had brought Ning Zhuo's letter and jade slips.
Ning Zhuo was the most critical person at the moment, so Ning Jingfan immediately asked his subordinates to bring over the jade slips of letters.
He used his spiritual consciousness to instill it into the jade slip, and immediately discovered that the jade slip was a confession.
In the letter, Ning Zhuo said vaguely: He and Feisi had always maintained close contact secretly and had a considerable degree of exchange of interests.
Ning Zhuo also said: He has always been secretly worried about the hidden dangers of what he did.
Not long ago, Mr. Zhu Xuanji suddenly came to investigate, making him fully realize the seriousness of the matter.
But there were many things he couldn't say, so he asked the ancestor of the Ning family for advice on what he should do.
In addition, Ning Zhuo also asked about the Demonic Scripture.
Master Zhu Xuanji specifically asked about the magic scripture. This scripture must be very important. Ning Zhuo brought it up here, hoping to bring some help to Ning Jiufan.
At the end of the letter, Ning Zhuo begged, hoping that the ancestor of the Ning family would come to help him and save him.
"It's not so much a confession as it is a letter asking for help!"
"Humph, you brat, why did you go so early?"
"On weekdays, I am so bold and do things that violate laws and disciplines. After something happens, I can't help myself, so I come to see my parents."
After Ning Junfan read the contents on the jade slip, he cursed a few times and handed the jade slip to Zhu Xuanji.
After Zhu Xuanji took one look at it, he threw it back to him.
Ning surrendered and handed the jade slip to others for them to check.
Ning Jiufan took the opportunity and said, "Ning Zhuo is a member of my Ning family, and he is also one of the most outstanding figures among the younger generation."
"Although his talent has not been tested so far. But even the lowest talent cannot prevent him from being a genius."
Ning Yifan's words did not arouse any objection.
All the golden elixir monks present recognized Ning Zhuo's talent. They believed that this young man Ning Zhuo had an unlimited future, was very skillful, ambitious, and motivated. But what he lacked most now was just his cultivation.
Ning Jingfan continued: "This time, we are going to use Ning Zhuo as a bait to induce the City Lord's Mansion to take risks. Facing the assassination from the City Lord's Mansion, Ning Zhuo's situation is quite dangerous."
"Please don't be stingy with the treasures, support him a lot, and protect his life."
"Such a talented boy, placed in any clan, is the family's treasure and future."
"I am the ancestor of the Ning family and the only golden elixir of the Ning family. I don't want Ning Zhuo to lose his life because of our plan."
The Jindan monks in the hall looked at each other, and then all turned their attention to Zhu Xuanji.
Zhu Xuanji remained silent.
Zhou Nongying suddenly said: "Brother Ning, we all have treasures. But it seems inappropriate to use them to protect Ning Zhuo."
"Currently, our biggest advantage is that the City Lord's Mansion doesn't know how much evidence we have of their crimes!"
"This is a deceptive tactic to lure them into taking risks."
"Ning Zhuo was also unaware. The more frightened and suspicious he became, and he even took the initiative to seek help from Fei Si, these were all actions that would help us."
"If we protect him heavily and let him know the details...for a young man like him, who is only sixteen years old, there will inevitably be many flaws."
"Forget it Chi Dun, but Feisi is an extremely shrewd person. He can smell the trap we have laid for him from the small flaws in Ning Zhuo."
"Facing such an opponent, we must go all out, so..."
Before Zhou Nongying could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Junfan with a sneer.
"Ning Zhuo is not a member of your Zhou family, so sacrificing a talented monk from another clan will be beneficial to both of you."
Zhou Nongying quickly retorted: "As a member of my Zhou family, even if my talent is better than Ning Zhuo's, I will make such arrangements."
"After all, this kid is also guilty!"
"If he hadn't developed the Explosive Monkey Machine and proactively cooperated with the City Lord's Mansion, would the Immortal Palace have been blown up? Would things have come to this point?"
Ning Jiufan shouted coldly: "Even without Ning Zhuo, wouldn't the City Lord's Palace use other methods to blow up the Immortal Palace?"
"Ning Zhuo is just too young and a member of the branch. As a marginal figure, only by constantly digging into the camp and acquiring resources can he improve his cultivation and become stronger."
"This is not a bad intention, nor is it a sin. It's just that this young man wants to make progress too much."
"At this age, wouldn't we all be like this? It's just that Ning Zhuo was taken advantage of by bad people, and he is innocent."
Zhou Nongying sneered and pointed at the jade slip that Ning Zhuo had just delivered: "In this letter, Ning Zhuo has confessed his crime and confessed frankly that he had already foreseen something bad and had been under great psychological pressure."
"He should have taken the initiative to report this matter to you, the ancestor of the Ning tribe, earlier, but he did not do so."
"He has a strong sense of luck."
"He clearly knew that he might be aiding the perpetrators and being an accomplice, but he still wanted to hide it."
"Isn't such behavior sinful?"
Ning Jingfan was about to speak and continued to refute.
At this time, the subordinate sent another jade slip.
This jade slip was not sent by Ning Zhuo, but from Ning Xiaohui.
In fact, this was Ning Xiaohui's announcement of good news to her grandmother. As a member of the main lineage, her grandmother immediately reported the situation to the head of the Ning family.
During this period of time, the main line of the Ning family was firmly suppressed by Ning Zhuo alone, and it was extremely oppressive and uncomfortable.
Ning Xiaohui obtained the position of doctor and made such significant progress and achievements. This is a record and good news that everyone in the Ning family urgently needs.
After the head of the Ning family got the news, he burst out laughing, and his usual gloom was gone.
After pacing around the study for a few times, he immediately made a decision to record this information in a jade slip and hand it over to the ancestor of the Ning family, so that in the mind of the ancestor of the Ning family, he could gain some impression points about the main lineage of the Ning family.
These internal twists and turns are not what the ancestor of the Ning family wants to pay attention to.
His spiritual consciousness was poured into the jade slip. After checking it, his eyebrows slightly raised, showing a hint of joy.
"Ning Xiaohui is a good child." Ning Jingfan said, stroking his beard.
He handed the jade slip to Zhu Xuanji again for inspection: "Master Zhu, this time it is completely good news."
After Zhu Xuanji was instilled with spiritual consciousness, his eyes lit up and he said repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
"Today is a double blessing."
"Ning Xiaohui has the status of a trial disciple, which is an advantage that none of us have."
"The position of doctor she obtained is placed on outsiders like us. No matter how much merit we have, we are not qualified to obtain it."
"etc."
"This Historical Records Pavilion is very important. It should record all the major events since the construction of Lava Immortal Palace."
"nice one!"
"Hurry up and let Ning Xiaohui accumulate merit and strive for an early promotion to become the director of Shi Ji Pavilion!"
"The scene of the Lava Fairy Palace being bombed will definitely be recorded by Shi Ji Ting. This is the most solid evidence of guilt."
Zhou Nongying frowned slightly: "Even if the scene of the Black Shadow Demon cultivating the Immortal Palace was recorded in the Historical Records Pavilion, there is nothing we can do to drag down the Meng family through this evidence."
"Because on the surface, the Meng family and the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator have nothing to do with each other."
Zhu Xuanji nodded: "So, we still need to start from Ning Zhuo's line. Only by doing this two-pronged approach can we gain something."
Having said this, Zhu Xuanji turned his attention to Ning Yifan.
He said sincerely: "Brother Ning."
"I have confessed all my plans to you."
"Ning Zhuo is a member of your Ning family. Therefore, for your sake, I went there in person but did not torture him in any way, let alone search for his soul."
"This is my sincerity!"
"How could I, Zhu Xuanji, treat a hero badly?"
As a member of the Divine Catcher Division, Zhu Xuanji has a lot of torture methods at his disposal.
But he is a member of the royal family, and he knows very well that if he uses these methods himself, it will be really bad.
In the current situation, he, Zhu Xuanji, came to Huoshi Fairy City alone. If he wanted to fight against the city lord Meng Kui, he had to integrate the power of the three families, otherwise he would be alone and unable to make a sound.
The previous battle with the Fire Molten Demon Ape was a successful operation.
In his actions, Zhu Xuanji took the lead and had the courage to take on responsibilities, which made all three Jindan families feel his sincerity.
If because of the Demonic Scripture, he disregarded the previous covenant and Ning Zhuo's feelings of submitting, and killed Ning Zhuo, then this behavior would be tantamount to killing the donkey in an attempt to get rid of others, and it would easily alienate others.
Especially among the Huoshan group, Ning Jiufan is the biggest contributor!
Zhu Xuanzhi had just praised Ning Yifan and affirmed his contribution, and then started attacking his clansmen. In this case, who would believe his praise and his promise?
It is not Zhu Xuanzhi's style to use methods such as soul searching and interrogation.
Hearing what Zhu Xuanji said, Ning Junfan lowered his head slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Master Zhu, please tell me, I trust you."
Zhu Xuanji said: "Let Ning Zhuo take the blame and make meritorious service."
"The situation has reached such a point that he has become a pawn crossing the river. Even if we don't find any clues to this scripture, his own situation is still dangerous."
"To be honest, I'm quite optimistic about this little guy."
"As the saying goes, if jade is not polished, it cannot be used. It is also good to let him polish it more."
"I can promise you: within these three days, I will disguise myself and follow Ning Zhuo."
"Once the City Lord's Mansion takes action, even if the Black Shadow Demonic Cultivator personally takes action, I will do my best to protect Ning Zhuo's life."
After saying this, Zhu Xuanzhi remained silent and looked at Ning in submission.
There was a silence in the hall.
The four golden elixirs from the other two families also looked at Ning Yifan and silently exerted pressure.
Ning Jiaofan's face was solemn, and he looked at the jade slip in his hand - this was the confession letter sent by Ning Zhuo.
He looked at the jade slip in Zhu Xuanzhi's hand again. It was a message of victory from Ning Xiaohui's side.
One is the branch vein and the other is the main vein.
At this moment, Ning Junfan's heart was touched, and he realized in a daze that he seemed to be facing some kind of fateful choice.
He has never met Ning Zhuo, but he has met Ning Xiaohui.
At this moment, in his mind, the words of his old friend before his death came to mind - please take good care of his descendants.
Ning Fan let out a long sigh and made a decision: "Forget it, let's just follow you guys and act like this."
Chapter completed!
